Thanks I appreciate the comment, I will keep an eye out for the quality of safety pins. Our last conversation actually had to do with sewing needs which I did then purchase a whole pack of Dritz sewing needles and they are super high quality sewing needles. I got a large pack off of amazon with an assortment of 50 different needles. I’ve only got to use two different ones so far but they seem to be awesome quality and very hard steel. I imagine the safety pins would be the same quality. I think the inclusion of the needles in the fishing kit may be just for the sole intention of gear repair. Having the needles in there to makes hooks is kind of useless IMO and the size of the eyes out make me believe it was for fitting the fishing line to sew up a pack or cloths. Thanks for commenting again i appreciate it!

Thanks it’s nice to hear that i appreciate it?

It’s a great fishing kit I would be happy to have it solely for a fishing kit if I needed it. Everything is stamped made in the USA so that’s awesome on its own.

I’m not sure what you mean? Which lock? There’s the lock that you set to keep all the tools in place when it’s in your pocket. And the lock that holds the tools open while you’re using them?

It didn’t feel like it was weak at all but I will use it to catch a fish at the lake this summer. it should be ok it’s never seen sunlight before and very little air there was no O2 absorber in this kit so that little rust was probably formed from the original air In the package. When I was feeling the line it felt new still pliable and 68lb test can be

I will continue to search for them they are expensive to find but when I find a good one I buy it! It seems like a lot of people love to see what the military carry’s in their pocket it is extremely interesting I will find more for sure thanks for the comment from way over there that’s impressive that you found my channel!

Thanks you were about a day behind this time 😄

There is definitely room in that bag for that stuff if I remember right the bag was actually packed fairly loose. I think some company’s keep the purification tablets out to eliminate having to put an expiration date on the contents. Even something small like an aquamira frontier straw would add a lot of capability to the kit

Thank you and may god bless you and your family also! I wonder where I could go about picking up one of the newer kits that you speak of?

Thanks I will do the same for you I will jump over and check your content out and give you a sub also! Thanks for supporting the smaller channels i appreciate that!

They honestly could be. I just never check to see if they are anymore because I thought you could no longer get that style of match anymore.

Yes, actually it is a pretty good kit especially for the price. I have seen these for as low as $15. It wouldn’t be bad to have one just to toss into a glove box or into a larger pack just to have some spare items.

Thanks a lot I appreciate that from the other side of the ocean! Thanks for watching and keep coming back it really helps out

Thanks again for coming back!

I have a few kits I could go over plus a hunting pack and some edc packs it would be fun to do

Great! We are constantly upgrading our loadouts. New ideas are always welcomed.

Thanks for the comment I appreciate it a lot it keeps the video in the algorithm!

Yes I thought it was a cool find also! I bid on it and I won it on eBay for a really good price I think I hardly paid 20 dollars after taxes I got on to find one last night and they are between 40-80 dollars depending on condition this one was unopened it’s cool to open a piece of history and have it recorded on TH-cam potentially forever. I can see how that silver minnow could be jigged or casted that is an awesome addition to a life raft kit I’ve been bidding on military surplus life rafts and this summer I’m going to do a video with a kit and the raft for an overnight stay

It is a pretty substantial kit for how small it is. It’s holding up awesome for being as old as me 😂 some of the hooks I buy get rusty in a year or two so these are awesome!

@whitetailsurvival2430 yeah that's that vacuum sealing I been thinking about doing same to my kit I got in a soap box just for extra waterproofing besides electrical tape

That’s a good idea I have a vacuum sealer they are cheap and the rolls of material are cheap also!

Thanks it was a cool find for sure! All the comments do seriously help with the algorithm thanks again man!

Yea I mentioned it could be used to catch a larger animal on land with that 60+ lbs test as long as they don’t get smart enough to chew the line. That’s why I was thinking like an L7 trap with a spring to dangle an animal would be the safest bet. Thanks for coming back again! You’re definitely one of the originals and I’m going to do something special for you guys one day if the channel gets big enough!

You're doin fine. I just ordered some 8/0 SS octopus hooks and some 20" green 100lb. test leaders to try it out. Your video inspired me. Thank s brother.

Maybe I'll try the L7

No problem at all dude! I actually just ordered some 100lb braided line for my survival kits I’m making I’m going to try to use it as cordage and a fishing line that takes up less space than 100lb cordage or paracord. I never used bank line because I was afraid the tar would leech into the kit in the heat.

The L7 is awesome. I think I have a short video on Instagram somewhere that I used an L7 plus I used a tree limb hanging over the lake as a spring then I caught a bluegill with it

Nice that’s awesome I do loads of fishing around here I never really learned the proper names I know enough to put a shape to a name but that’s it. I know the basics names like rooster tails, some soft plastics, crankbaits, etc etc. half the time I look in my tackle box and I’m like I need to grab the spinny shiny one with the yellow body and silver bead 😄 I guess the fish don’t know what their called

Thanks so much I’m glad you enjoyed the video!

Ok that makes so much sense I knew that was a monster hook for something huge but it would make a great fishing gaff you could make a double or make two gaff sticks. That’s awesome to know though! I do wanna get a surplus raft and do an overnight with one of the military kits and the raft I’ve been watching them on eBay I think it would be cool to do!

@@whitetailsurvival2430 I’ve always wanted to get one for the summer. I bet they would make a great one man small “craft” for a day of floating down a river and drinking some beer. Better than a tire tube. Lol.

That would be an awesome idea if you were along a lake edge at night or a shallow area where you can see into the water!

Never mind… I shouldn’t have paused the video. You already knew the purpose. Lol

Haha I was just going to say that I mentioned something like that quickly 😁 we have a lot of Lilly pads in the lake I fish in near my house and the newer crawfish lures I have and some of the frogs have a long spring around the hook and it does the same type of thing! Thanks for the comment though it’s good to have that stuff in the comments section because some people do skip it in the video and don’t hear it 😃

@ i figure the more comments… the better. Helps the “algorithm” and your channel. It was my pleasure. Love to watch your videos.

@ I love the “rubber worms” for bass. They sell a special shaped hook specifically for the worms which have a “slot” in the body of the worm. It’s kinda a learning curve but if you hook them correctly at the “head” and then pierce the rubber correctly the hook fits right in the slot in the worm. They’re completely snag free as there is nothing to snag. Works great for small mouth bass who like the cover of the Lilly pads. You can cast right in there with no fear of snags.

That’s an awesome idea I didn’t know that was the case at all! It wouldn’t be bad to tie a fly out of that material it’s very bright colored plus I imagine you could find a feather and some fur if you really looked around. Turkey are fairly abundant around here I find feathers all the time.

Absolutely! I think it’s an awesome fishing kit exactly like you said for a life raft. I’ve been bidding on life rafts on eBay if I can get one cheap enough I will take this kit and the sru parachute kit and do an overnight

@@whitetailsurvival2430 I hope you come across a deal. I’d love to see it!

Actually the older plastic case kits have more gear packed inside them, good quality stuff. The only advantage of the newer kits is the metal case. The inside of the lid was designed to be used as a signal device, and the case itself as a cooking container.

@@alex9483 specifically what gear? As far as I was aware… the contents mandated are exactly the same. The only difference I have come across is a nylon line vs monofilament.

@@jastrapper190 Looking at the screen shot of the list on this video and the list on the older kits I have : Missing on the newer kit is "1 packet 8 assorted flies" and "1 packet 6 assorted spinners". The older leader packet has 8 leaders, the newer packet only has 4. Also I think the "assemblies" on the newer kit has fewer items. There are probably other things but I don't want to unseal any of my kits. But the newer has 2 shank hooks and the older has 1. So you got that.

It is I do get that feeling sometimes like when I was a kid when I first started opening gifts 😄 the only problem is that these ones cost me moneys. I’m glad other people like too see them and it saves everyone else alittle cash or at least it helps them decide if they want it or not.

You are welcome I hope you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching and i appreciate the comment!

I have a PowerPint and the power liter they are both awesome tools I do really like them I always carry a leatherman wave + when I need pliers. If you like the ks2e you should check my video out on the Roxon flex companion it can be whatever tool you want it to be! It’s awesome I’ve been carrying it a lot!

Believe it or not two years in a row right before Christmas the Votagoo kit was 9.99 and regularly 21.00. The SOL kits were always more expensive 30-35 dollars that kit is now discontinued one will pop up on eBay once in a while for a good price. The Votagoo kit is also missing off Amazon so I imagine it is also discontinued.

@whitetailsurvival2430 thx

I’m pretty sure it will use any knock off leatherman Wire cutters or even ones for the wave I will have to check and see if they fit I would say Amazon should have the replacements

Absolutely not! I guess that’s the only kit that’s strapped to the actual parachute. The ejection seat and the vest also had survival kits in them so it would be a supplement to the other kits unless somehow you lost the seat and vest other than that you would be SOL

Absolutely I figured a company like Gerber would have a lot more extensive kit!

Thanks I appreciate you watching all of these videos there are a lot to go over this one is so far back! This video was made before I even thought of having a channel. I just made this video when I got the light and I posted it to show people what it could do that was back when the channel was just my name 😁. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with the channel then I let TH-cam go for a few years then I started marking videos about 10 months ago. After about 3 months it got monetized now I’m over 2500 subs and climbing it’s awesome to see! It’s people like you that keep the channel growing! I really do appreciate it more than you know!

@@whitetailsurvival2430 The channel is growing! This is a tough niche to get a foothold in and you've done it. Looking forward to the next survival kit!

😅 not an attack at all it’s just what the stats say in my TH-cam studio app. Believe it or not most of my viewers are over 50! I guess people my age and younger just do not care about survival or preparedness. I will be 32 this year and it actually saddens me that there are very limited people my age and younger that watch my content. A lot of older people don’t realize you can subscribe to the channel and receive notifications of when I make a video 😂. I have like 10,000 return viewers per month but I only have 2700 subs that leads me to believe that subscribe button is just not understood

74.3% of my subs are over 45 and 51.2% are over 55 years old. 😂 tech isn’t always the strong suit for people that age. I have to help my dad all the time on here and he’s in his mid 60’s he has no clue what being a subscriber means he thought it was something he had to pay for.

Absolutely this pistola was so cheap too i paid under 2 bills out the door. The 18 round mag is awesome there’s actually a 22 round mag also. It’s definitely a fun and awesome caliber and platform to learn off of!

@@whitetailsurvival2430 Yeah mate I will be sticking to 10 round mags. That's the legal limit down here. Better than no handguns at all I guess. I will just stock up on 10 round mags. lol

Your definitely right about that! Some people forget that these things are a supplement to a camping/hiking kit designed to aid you if you run into a problem or end up lost for a night. These kits are not a stand alone survival kit just a supplement

Thanks again!

That is a great point about the WorkPro 18 in 1, you can find those for a great price and they work very well. I guess there’s more of a chance to get a dud with one of these but for the price you just get another one or return it to Amazon and they replace it. This multitool is a copy of the wave with a few changes made. I think the only reason why people still by leatherman is just due to the fact it’s made in the USA. leatherman in a way reminds me of Harley Davidson. Every time they come out with something new and innovative everyone hates on it then they ceased to produce it like the free series I have almost all of the free series, including the knife base tools and it is awesome if it had a quarter inch bit driver it would have been Leathermans best tool they ever made. I think the fact is a lot of older people continue to buy Leatherman products and they do not like when things change, but they are slightly behind in times Leatherman for what they charge should be far ahead of the multitool game. They should be working on some form of modular multitool right now, but are they?

@@bahjinelson3986 o ok I will have to try some more out I have a few sets of 4mm bit sets for taking knives and whatnot apart so far all of the ones I have fit even the single sided bits worked great. I do have a 4mm to 1/4 inch adapter i should start keeping with it

@@whitetailsurvival2430 That's a good idea!

Are you serious? That’s awesome! I got it on eBay they are retired military survival kits if you just type SRU-16/P parachute kit into eBay it will come up there’s a bunch of them usually around 50 bucks

Yes that’s true I bet you’re right! I have actually used my boot laces before in a pinch to make a pole saw. Thanks for the comment again!

No problem this is one of the first videos I ever made! I still have this thing and it still works just the way it did when I unpacked it. I bet them little darts would stick right into your skin. It’s a fun little adult toy definitely could take an eye out 😁

Leatherman is almost all made in the USA if it has the stamp on there it’s made here. Gerber is about half and half. Some of their stuff is made here some id China. They also have USA stamped on their stuff if it’s a USA made product. I carry a leatherman everyday for work but I wouldn’t tell anyone not to carry a Gerber I have them also. The military used to carry the Gerber MP600 multitool it was an OTF made in the USA tool they were great also. It’s hard to decide which company would be better for you I guess it all comes down to looks and preferences to each individual.

@whitetailsurvival2430 thx

Haha backup weapon in an emergency! it can be used as a brick or striking tool 😃

@whitetailsurvival2430 lol

That’s great! Good job at figuring out I found out later on that that’s what it’s for. Typically the little pry tools like that are for small hex heads so it didn’t even cross my mind that it could be for taking the blade retention screw out. It’s not as easy to think when your doing a brand new unboxing in front of two cameras at 10:30 to 11:30 PM after using my real problem-solving skills at work all day deciphering everyone else else’s mistakes trust me you don’t have 30 seconds in a video to sit and think about what an extra item is in a box, people are already complaining about how long the videos are it would be far worse if I paused for 30 seconds to think about what that tool really did and stopping the video and cutting it in would not work because I didn’t know what the tool was for until two days after I posted a video sometimes these tools are tossed in there as extras and they don’t have anything to do with the Main tool that you’re unboxing

The images on Amazon clearly show the tool being used as such.

@@bahjinelson3986 no it doesn’t I went through all the Amazon pictures and I did right now again because you said it and it’s definitely not on there. Unless it’s in the video? I didn’t watch that because I knew I already wanted it the most time I spent on there was deciding what color I wanted then I ordered it 🤷 it’s not the end of the world though we got it all figured out now that the tool can take the blade out. I have the tool in my pouch now but it’s way slower than just pulling my leatherman out and backing the screw off 1/8 turn

@@bahjinelson3986 maybe the next iteration will have a slot for the tool to set in held in by a magnet?

@@whitetailsurvival2430 I have it pulled up. I'm looking at the carbon version and at the top pictures next to the description. The ones you can click on to look at. It's one of the additional pictures under "4+".

That makes a lot more sense than how I was doing it thanks a lot i appreciate that!

I didn’t think this one was that bad for the everyday person. Way better than having nothing and the manual has a lot of good stuff in it
